So it makes sense that the arrow re-apears when it is set again or you choose to set it as the waypoint arrow. But if you log off it shoudln't trigger this setting action. Nothing really warrants this.

If you select "Clear waypoint from crazy arrow" from the drop-down, then log off and log on again the setting is reset and the crazy arrow is displayed again. This is something unexpected, especially if you suffer from occasional disconnects, or decide to farm AH for a few days. Cheers. |

The directional information is presented by the way the arrow is actually pointing. If it's pointed the right way, you're going the right way.
Cart's arrow provides 2 pieces of information: If you're pointed the right way, and how far it is. TT's arrow provides 1 piece of information: If you're pointed the right way. Both addons provide waypoint name, distance, and estimated time as text underneath the arrow, and TT is better in the text category, but the arrow itself, Cart's is superior. Give Cart a try and see how it does it (latest version available on wowace). It even has a down-pointing spinning green arrow to indicate you've arrived, which is neat, but unnecessary. When I compare the two, Cart's crazyarrow seems more advanced specifically because it colors the arrow by distance. You can't let an addon that's not even supported anymore outdo you, can ya? =P Honestly, that you're even considering it is good enough for me. I think if you gave it a try, though, you'd like it better.

I'm not saying no, but I have to think about it.

You know the value that you can set to clear the arrow because you've 'arrived'?
Let's say I set the value at 25 yards. Then I set 'green' to 250 yards, 'yellow' to 500 yards, and 'red' to 1000 yards. The closer I get, it goes from red, blending into yellow, blending into green. Based on distance. Or, to put it short...the way Cart does it. =P It's not the biggest of deals, but it really is neat to be heading the right direction and watch the arrow slowly turn from red to yellow to green as you approach the point. With TT, the arrow's green the entire way and you just watch a number get smaller. Not as interesting. =P

You say "arrival distance".. but what does that mean? How can you tell that 2000 yards away should be yellow, while 4000 yards away should be red? The only information we have is where you're going, and how far away from that point you currently are. I guess I just don't understand =/.

Well, the criteria would be distance... 2x the 'arrival distance' or less would be green, 4x the arrival distance would be yellow, 6x the arrival distance or more would be red, etc (default colors). You could even go really advanced and have it customized at what distance it would be considered red/green/yellow/whatever.
Since I'm used to Cart's basing it on distance, the actual color of the arrow symbolizes how close you are and the distance/time display really isn't even needed, just the name of what you're going to. Again, I still haven't had a chance to try in this way, but having it colored by distance gives more 'at a glance info'. I'm trying your beta and I don't see any issues really, what should I be looking for?

Can it be assumed, when using waypoints, that we'll need to get to our corpse before doing anything else? (CrazyArrow pointing to corpse would be great.)
Another feature...I'm making the switch from Cartographer. In Cart, the arrow was colored by distance. In TT, the arrow is colored by how correctly you're facing. I've gotten used to it being colored by distance. -.- I'm still new to TT so I may get used to it this way, but could you make it an option to color by distance and not by correctness? Everything else is awesome, thanks. ^_^
